The minister was preaching
           F                 C
And the crowd was standing near
    F                   C  Cmaj7  Am
The congregation was singing a tune
      D7                      G
In a voice that was loud and clear
 
                C
You know the crowd that stood around him
             F                      C
They were crying, I could plainly see
           F                     C Cmaj7 Am
For the song that they sang was so touching
             C               G   F     C
They were singing 'Nearer My God To Thee'

    C
O, nearer my God to Thee, nearer, nearer to Thee
                        F                C
We kept on singing, nearer my God, nearer my God to Thee
         C
Oh Lord, we kept on singing nearer
                                 D7   G
Nearer my God, nearer, nearer to Thee
                          C               F
They kept on singing, nearer my, my God, nearer my God to Thee
     F               C
Oh yes, nearer, nearer

[VERSE]
C
Songs have a feeling
          F                           C
There's a story in every song that we sing
  C
Songs that are known to lift heavy burdens
                  D7                        G
If all of our troubles, to God we oughta bring

                 C
And if we are Christians we ought not to be ashamed
         F                     C
To lift our voices, admire Jesus' name
                C               F         G            C    F
We ought to be able to sing, nearer, nearer my God to Thee
     C
Oh help me Lord, lift our voices and sing, nearer, nearer, nearer yes

         C
Oh Lord, we kept on singing nearer
                                 D7   G
Nearer my God, nearer, nearer to Thee
                          C               F
They kept on singing, nearer my, my God, nearer my God to Thee
     F               C
